defense workers were voting Thursday on a new contract that could end a more than three-month strike that has delayed the manufacturer’s production of F-15 fighter jets and other programs.
The workers rejected previous offers, with their union saying the proposals failed to address concerns.
The contract proposal the workers are voting on Thursday includes 24% wage increases over five years as well as a $6,000 upfront bonus, up from $3,000, though it gets rid of a previous Boeing proposal for $4,000 in payments later on.
